RCMES has been contributing to the multinational, multi-institutional ExArch project to faciliate advances in Exascale climate analysis. Learn more...

Regional Climate Analysis

RCMES is powered by Apache's Open Climate Workbench and is designed to facilitate the observation-based evaluation of the representation of regional scale climate variability and change for both global and regional climate models. Learn more...

Regional Decision Making

Observational data from RCMES helps quantify uncertainties in models used for climate projectsions and in turn by decision makers at local, state, and national levels. Learn more...

Comparing Models to Observations

RCMES provides uniform access to billions of observational measurements, as well as a robust set of tools for performing common model evlaution tasks using the data... Learn more...

Welcome

Modeling climate and Earth system processes on regional scales is essential for projecting the impacts of climate change on society and our natural resources. Quantifying model biases is critical to characterizing the uncertainties associated with these climate change projections and is also an essential step in developing and improving Earth system models. The Regional Climate Model Evaluation System (RCMES) is designed to facilitate regional-scale evaluations of climate and Earth system models by providing standardized access to a vast and
